Because there is no definitive data on the impact of Title II-B, HEA, Li-

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the accomplishments of the past
recipients of fellowship awards under HEA II-B, Library Career Training program and to determine the effects of the change in legislation enacted in 1971. Ancillary purposes are to determine if shortages in graduate li- brary school faculties have been reduced, whether or not minorities and women have reached top management in libraries, and whether or not minori- ties have entered the profession. |
